comments: Running isn't just standing on the starting line waiting for the gun to go
off. It's a heart beat of things running through your head. The best of the best
experiences you can ever accomplish in life. I ran with SRLA at Griffith Middle
School in 2004, i had the best coach Mrs. Whittsitt. Thanks to leaders like her I
didn't get involved in any violence activities with my "friends" growing up in East
Los Angeles. I also thank SRLA community for helping me find a path to be successful
in school and at the same time remain healthy. I recommend this program to everyone
that wants to make a difference to themselves and prove that anyone can do it. Good
luck everyone and hopefully someday we see testimonials not only on this page but
displayed to the world. Lets make it happen!

I ran the 2008 LA Marathon yesterday and it brought back awesome memories from my SRLA days! Keep up the good work! See you guys in 2009!

comments: I participated with SRLA throughout Palms Middle school and Venice High School completing ten marathons. The program had a strong impact on my life, as a cross country Varsity athlete and learning to set goals through hard work and discipline. Currently, I am a freshman at the The New School University in NYC. I am most grateful to SRLA for their generous support of providing a college scholarship. Running has become a lifestyle and a part of my life. When I was home for winter break, I even went running with the Venice High team. I know that SRLA will continue be a part of my life.

comments: I remember my first race, "L.A. Marathon" I though it was a big mistake, but that's how I found out about Cross Country and Track. I ran with SRLA for two years, I had a lot of fun and learned a lot too. This is my last semester at the University of Hawaii, I came here on Running Scholarship.. Thanks SRLA...

First posting: comments: Hello my name is Heber A. Marquez. I first started my SRLA experience as a senior in high school. I am no longer a student runner but I do want to say that I have been coaching at Ellen Ochoa Learning Center for the past two years and I'm just starting the third. I guess I can say that I am an SRLA "Student" Runner Alumni.
